Bioinformatics Engineer II

Job Description:

• Designs and develops software, databases and interfaces for analyzing and manipulating biological data.
• Draws upon knowledge of biology to improve data mining and management techniques.
• Collaborates with laboratory researchers to develop high throughput data processing and analysis capability.
• Adds new software that has been internally developed or imported from outside sources to in-house systems.
• Directs and guides DNA, RNA and protein sequence database searches and the computational analysis of resulting data.
• Provides direct technical and scientific customer support and helps guide, implement and maintain further improvements to bioinformatics software.
• Works with the entire life science team to diagnose and fix issues with software.
• This position will focus on the analysis of heritability in CLL with a focus on germline genomic analysis comparing CLL cases and controls. The ideal candidate will be able to perform their own bioinformatics analyses of these data and will support others in the lab in their analyses of similar data. Validation of key findings at the bench will also be a significant component of the position. The ideal candidate will have familiarity and experience working with molecular genetics/genomics and bioinformatics, as well as cloning, validation, and studies of the biologic function of candidate mutations

• Familiarity with simple programming using Perl/Python or Java, statistical programming using R or related tools, web-development, and database query through SQL.
• Familiarity with principles of experimental design and modern data analysis paradigms is required.
